Iran’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance released the results of a domestic poll of how citizens of Tehran view television and print media. While polls in Iran can be difficult to conduct for a variety of reasons, the findings reflected some negative views toward Iran's domestic media.
The poll was ordered by the ministry’s Press and Information Department, which is headed by Deputy for Press Affairs Hossein Entezami. According the Culture Ministry’s website, 923 Tehran citizens were interviewed in March 2014. Of these, 56% were men and 44% were women.
